Shipwrecks Alive Final Report to the Governor and the Legislature January 15, 2015 Final Report to the Governor and the Legislature As per M.S. 3.303, SUBD. 10 AND M.S. 129D.17, SUBD.2 (D) Project supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Culture Heritage Fund FY 2014 On behalf of the Lake Superior Center Authority, Pursuant to 2013 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 6, clause (e), the Minnesota Legislature provided $200,000 to Lake Superior Center Authority in the first year (fiscal year 2014) of the FY 14/15 biennium for development of an exhibit to examine the effect that aquatic environments have on shipwrecks and to preserve Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage. On behalf of the Lake Superior Center Authority, we are pleased to provide this final report on the project for which we received Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund funding, a project we are calling Shipwrecks Alive! In entering into the grant agreement, the state entity, Lake Superior Center Authority has designated its non- profit, Lake Superior Center dba Great Lakes Aquarium (GLA) to serve as its managing agent for the project. Great Lakes Aquarium is uniquely positioned on the shores of Lake Superior, one of the shipwreck diving meccas of the world, to tell the fascinating story waiting under the waves. It is a story which fascinates all ages. Completed and opened to the public on July 2, 2014, Shipwrecks Alive! provides an insight into the role ships play as underwater habitat once they have sunk. The story is told with a focus on three unique examples of shipwrecks in three very distinct and different parts of the world: Lake Superior; the South Pacific; and, the Mediterranean Sea. As we proceeded with the project, we were able to draw upon the Great Lakes Shipwrecks Preservation Society, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Lake Superior Magazine, the Duluth arts community and many others for highly valued input and assistance. The public response to the project has been terrific. A great deal of media coverage of various project milestones created a high level of anticipation, resulting in over 200 people attending the ribbon cutting ceremony the day the exhibit opened, over twice the number of people who normally attend such events. That high level of interest has continued throughout the remainder of the year. Some 40,000 people visited the exhibit in July and August alone, helping boost our annual attendance total for 2014 to 119,708 visitors, up some 6,500 from the total number of visitors in 2013, further securing our position as Duluth’s most popular paid visitor attraction. Shipwrecks Alive! has become the flagship feature at Great Lakes Aquarium. If the strong interest that it has generated during its first five months is any indicator of what is yet to come, we are very excited about its prospects for the remainder of its five-year schedule. Please accept our grateful appreciation to the members of the Minnesota State Legislature for providing funding for this project from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Sincerely, Jack LaVoy Elaine Hansen Executive Director Chair Lake Superior Center dba Great Lakes Aquarium Lake Superior Center Authority 1 is now open PROJECT DESCRIPTION Lake Superior Center Authority Board This report outlines the final outcomes achieved Elaine Hansen, Chair with $200,000 in Arts and Cultural Heritage Funds Executive Director, UMD Center for Economic Development received “for development of an exhibit to examine Dennis Lamkin, Vice Chair the effect that aquatic environments have on Vice President and Senior Property Manager U.S. Bank (retired) shipwrecks and to preserve Minnesota’s history and Betty Ramsland, Secretary Secretary and Appraisal Assistant, Ramsland & Vigen, Inc. cultural heritage.” Bob Meier Deputy Commissioner, Minn.

The organization’s team of dedicated staff and volunteers seek to “inspire people to explore their connections with Lake Superior and waters of the world” through live animals displays, hands-on exhibits, interpretive programs, classes, camps and community outreach. Great Lakes Aquarium staff members specialize in Lake Superior and freshwater education and animal care. Each year more than 115,000 visitors engage with exhibits, animals and educational programming at Great Lakes Aquarium. ANIMAL CARE A team of animal care specialists and aquarists care for aquatic, marine and terrestrial species. The majority of species featured on exhibit and in programming are native to the Great Lakes Basin. The Aquarium also houses animals from other freshwater ecosystems. Several feature galleries showcase salt water species. The animal care team works closely with regional wildlife rehabilitators to triage and observe injured wildlife before and after treatment. EDUCATION We believe that all people are curious capable learners. From infants to school aged children to adults, the Aquarium’s education program aims to provide enriching experiences for everyone. Roving interpretation and animal encounters on the exhibit floor provide a personal touch. Weekly classes and camps make participants feel like a part of the Aquarium family. On-site, video-conference, and outreach classes support academic excellence with a Great Lakes focus. Teacher workshops and a Teacher Resource Center connect educators with resources to engage students with Lake Superior and waters of the world. EXHIBITS AND EVENTS The Aquarium’s exhibits are the focal point for visitors. Faithful recreations of six unique Lake Superior habitats are the anchor for an engaging exploration of regional and global water resources. A scale model Great Lakes water table complete with working locks, a two-story 100,000 gallon freshwater tank and a gallery filled with living fossils are among visitors favorites.

  • Trip Packages Washington Harbor Area
    Isle Royale Info – Trip Packages Washington Harbor Area - Paddling Total Statute Miles 11.73 Total Nautical Miles 10.19 Average Danger 4.988 [Based on 4 or 5 day itinerary] This route takes in the area and campgrounds in Washington Harbor and the entry of the harbor at the western end of the island. It is relatively well protected from the open waters of Lake Superior and the shorelines in this area are accessible if there is the need to go to shore in case of dangerous conditions or an emergency. It should be done by those with intermediate level experience or better because it does take in the Lake Superior waters and there are a couple of short open water sections. It is a good route for those with no open water experience to learn and practice before doing long open water routes. The area this route covers is relatively busy with boats coming in and out and fisherman may dock overnight at both of the campground docks. It features two campgrounds on islands and many historical structures on Washington and Barnum islands along with the “America” wreck which is visible from the surface. This description and itinerary starts from Windigo by taking the Voyageur or Sea Hunter from Grand Portage, Minnesota to Windigo. It is also possible to take the boats from Copper Harbor or Houghton, Michigan, then schedule the Voyageur from Rock Harbor to Windigo, but that would add at least 1 day and additional cost to the trip.
